China. It is a Chinese surname used in several dialect groups.

A person of Cantonese origin might have the surname Ng and it translates to Wu (吴)in Mandarin. This applies especially to people from Hong Kong.

On the other hand, the surname Ng used by people of Teochew/Hokkien origin (majority of the ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia) translates to Huang (黄)in Mandarin. 黄 essentially refers to the colour 'yellow'.
